: Does anyone know how to implement VGA graphics in ADA?

Yes. :-)

More helpful:

1) VGA graphics usually mean using DOS. If you are using the GNAT compiler
   on DOS, it comes with both a standard VGA graphics packages and a
   SVGA (VESA/VBE) based package.

2) If you are using a form of windows, AdaGraph is quite easy to use for
   basic graphics. It is available for both GNAT and ObjectAda.

3) If you are using Linux, there is a package for using vgalib from Ada.
   A X-based version of AdaGraph is underway.

All of the above can be found on my homepage.

Alternatives are to use a binding to one of the many portable graphics
libraries such as Gtk, Tcl/Tk, OpenGl/Mesa with GLUT, etc. However, as
a beginner I would advice using one of the easier to use native packages.
